But bleedin' good fun.
Rob came and cheered me on and told me what was what - the rules, the etiquette, the warm ups and cool downs, the nutrition, the tactics on the practice lap - and the hugs. And Johnny Russell came amd added a touch of style to the Masters race. 5th after a 10-15 year break from mtb racing. That's class!
It was a fun day catching up with various friends from the mtb scene. I enjoyed the vibe, the weater was beautiful, the course was technical and really fun...
... and I won my category, which was the icing on the cake! (And Rob says I'm a 'real' mountain biker now because I've gritted my teeth through an xc race!)
